Thakre said in view of the acute drinking water scarcity in Marathwada, the party has set up a committee under him comprising district unit chiefs from the region to prepare a report on the ground situation and pursue the demand of additional funds from the Centre. Asked why the committee will look only into Marathwada region, Thakre said the situation of drinking water scarcity was grim there and it required immediate intervention. PTI MR DK ASY BAS
